Dark and disturbing, women begin experiencing bizarre mental, emotional and physical symptoms that disrupt their abilities to function in varying degrees.

"Breaking the Grip of Postpartum Depression" also helps women walk toward wellness by suggesting other trusted outside resources when further help is needed.
